Saints re-signed C/G Mike McGlynn.

McGlynn is back to serve as veteran depth on the interior of the line. Mon, Sep 14, 2015 06:27:00 PM

Saints released OL Mike McGlynn.

It leaves the Saints with only seven offensive linemen, but McGlynn wasn't expected to be active this week. A 13-game starter for Kansas City last year, McGlynn should draw free-agent interest. Sat, Sep 12, 2015 05:25:00 PM

Saints signed OL Mike McGlynn to a one-year contract.

McGlynn started 13 games for Kansas City last year, grading out as the worst guard in PFF's ratings. He'll add competition for LG Tim Lelito, who currently sits atop the depth chart. McGlynn can back up at all three interior line spots. Wed, May 20, 2015 04:44:00 PM

Chiefs signed G/C Mike McGlynn.

McGlynn was just released by the Redskins as they made their way to 75 players Tuesday. He can provide depth at the three interior line spots and has 48 career starts under his belt. McGlynn was Andy Reid's fourth-round pick with the Eagles in 2008 and spent three years in Philly with Big Red. Wed, Aug 27, 2014 10:54:00 AM

Depth Charts

Mark Ingram (toe, knee, questionable) returned to a limited practice on Friday.

That puts him on track to play Sunday against Tampa Bay. Ingram has had some big weeks recently, but his usage remains somewhat of a guessing game. Last week he was out-snapped by Travaris Cadet. Ingram will be a risky RB2 against a Bucs' defense that has performed much better recently.

Michael Thomas (foot) returned to Saints practice on Friday but is listed as questionable for Week 14 at Tampa Bay.

Thomas was "limited," meaning his only practice participation of the week was a "limited" workout in Friday's session. Still, it would be a surprise if he did not start Sunday at Tampa Bay. Thomas has emerged as the Saints' best wideout as rookie, leading the team in all receiving categories.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: Thomas - in addition to Brandin Cooks - is squarely in play after a disappointing performance in Week 13. He's the safest option on the Saints side and his ceiling is in line with Cooks', not to mention that he'll have a nice draw against the much smaller Alterraun Verner (5'10 to Thomas' 6'3). Thomas has reeled in about 78% of his targets on the year, a great mark for someone who is also integral in the red-zone.

Snead has now been held below 40 yards in three straight games, and four of his past five. It's not true from a targets standpoint, but Snead has become a distant third behind Michael Thomas and Brandin Cooks on the production front. His WR3 case has disappeared.

Saints coach Sean Payton said 2015 first-rounder Andrus Peat could be moved to left guard.

The Saints planned to use Peat on the right side -- either at guard or tackle -- this season, but he has struggled at both positions. "He hasn't played very well over on that right side, so we've got to keep looking and pay close attention to it," Payton said. "I know what he can do well, and we've got to find a way to be at a high enough level inside. And I think we can get that done." The offensive line has struggled mightily in the preseason, and the guard spots are a big reason why. The Saints could look to add a veteran like newly-released OG Geoff Schwartz in the next couple days.
